Sector Coverage 

The airMAX Sector Antenna is a 

Carrier Class 2x2 Dual Polarity MIMO 

Sector Antenna that was designed to 

seamlessly integrate with RocketM 

radios (RocketM sold separately).

Pair the RocketM’s radio with the 

airMAX Sector Antenna’s reach to 

create a powerful basestation. This 

versatile combination gives network 

architects unparalleled flexibility and 

convenience.

airMAX Sector Antennas provide sector-wide coverage and utilize 

airMAX technology to produce carrier-class performance and power. 

Utilize airMAX Technology* 

Unlike standard Wi-Fi protocol, 

Ubiquiti’s Time Division Multiple 

Access (TDMA) airMAX protocol 

allows each client to send and receive 

data using pre-designated time 

slots scheduled by an intelligent AP 

controller. 

This “time slot” method eliminates 

hidden node collisions and maximizes 

airtime efficiency. It provides 

many magnitudes of performance 

improvements in latency, throughput, 

and scalability compared to all other 

outdoor systems in its class. 

Intelligent QoS Priority is given to 

voice/video for seamless streaming.

Software 


airOS is an intuitive, versatile, 

highly developed Ubiquiti firmware 

technology. It is exceptionally 

intuitive and was designed to require 

no training to operate. Behind 

the user interface is a powerful 

firmware architecture, which 

enables high‐performance, outdoor 

multipoint networking. 

• Protocol Support 

• Ubiquiti Channelization 

• Spectral Width Adjustment 

• ACK Auto-Timing 

• AAP Technology 

• Multi-Language Support 

Integrated on all Ubiquiti M 

products, airView provides Advanced 

Spectrum Analyzer Functionality: 

Waterfall, waveform, and real-time 

spectral views allow operators to 

identify noise signatures and plan 

their networks to minimize noise 

interference. 

• Waterfall Aggregate energy over 

time for each frequency. 

• Waveform Aggregate energy 

collected. 

• Real-time Energy is shown in real 

time as a function of frequency. 

• Recording Automate airView to 

record and report results. 

airControl is a powerful and 

intuitive, web-based server network 

management application, which 

allows operators to centrally manage 

entire networks of Ubiquiti devices.

Protect your networks from the most 

brutal environments with Ubiquiti 

Networks’ industrial-grade, shielded 

Ethernet cable, TOUGHCable. 

Increase Performance 

Dramatically improve your 

Ethernet link states, speeds, and 

overall performance with Ubiquiti 

TOUGHCables. 

Extreme Weatherproof 

Designed for outdoor use, 

TOUGHCables have been built to 

perform even in the harshest weather 

and environments. 

ESD Damage Protection 

Protect your networks from 

devastating electrostatic discharge 

(ESD) attacks. 

Extended Cable Support 

TOUGHCables have been developed 

to increase power handling 

performance for extended cable run 

lengths. 

TOUGHCable Connectors 

Specifically designed for use with Ubiquiti TOUGHCables, TOUGHCable 

Connectors protect against ESD attacks and Ethernet hardware damage, while 

allowing rapid field deployment without soldering. The standard TOUGHCable 

Connectors are available in 100-pc. bags, while the TC-GND versions include 

ground wires and are available in 20-pc. bags. 

Bulletproof your networks 

TOUGHCable is currently available in 

two versions: PRO Shielding Protection 

and CARRIER Shielding Protection. 

TOUGHCable PRO is a Category 5e, 

outdoor, carrier-class shielded cable 

with an integrated ESD drain wire. 

ESD attacks are the leading cause for 

device failures. The diagram below 

illustrates the areas vulnerable to 

ESD attacks in a network. 

By using a grounded Ubiquiti Power 

over Ethernet (PoE) Adapter along with 

Ubiquiti TOUGHCable and TOUGHCable 

Connectors, you can effectively protect 

against ESD attacks. 

TOUGHCable CARRIER is a 

Category 5e, outdoor, carrier-class 

shielded cable that features 

an integrated ESD drain wire, 

anti-crosstalk divider, and secondary 

shielding. It is rated to provide optimal 

performance on Gigabit Ethernet 

networks. 

Additional Information: 

• 24 AWG copper conductor pairs 

• 26 AWG integrated ESD drain wire 

to prevent ESD attacks and damage 

• PE outdoor-rated, weatherproof 

jacket 

• Multi-layered shielding 

• Available in lengths of 1000 ft 

(304.8 m)
